[W:1607] ***2022 General Election Thread***

what is your thinking behind that statement?

I looked at what's left to be counted and compared it to what has already been counted. Not counting the counties that are pretty much all done, they play out like this for Laxalt:

Washoe: +1,834
Douglas: +2,343
Lyon: +2,024
Nye: +757
Lincoln: +273
Clark: -5,844
Total: +1,387

And since he's already got a 22,595 cushion, I'd say his lead is pretty secure. Cortez didn't get anywhere near the kind of margins she needed in Clark.

LOL, yep those terrible Trump economic results especially the less than 2% inflation and 7 million NEW jobs created. Damn him

OK, can you point to any specific policies and their net result?
Conservative said:
You like far too many have no understanding of the taxes in this country or what they fund.

Because I pointed out your hypocrisy?

My so called taxpayer funded benefits were paid for during my 35 years of employment

And what the **** makes you think that if I am receiving any I did not pay for it? Here is a clue. That money was long ago spent by our darling politicians of both parties.
So it is the currently employed tax payer that is paying your benefits.

No, I'm talking about people afraid to go out at night, people afraid of getting attacked or pushed on to the tracks in the subway, or the shootings and stabbings in the headlines. The criminals, if they are even arrested, set back free to do more crimes with cashless bail.

Republicans and their media slaves tell the viewers crime is skyrocketing and tell that they should be afraid, and then report polls that people thing crime is skyrocketing and people are afraid.

No its not. What it is is some sort of sour grapes of the left.

Isn't it a bit of a let down for the GOP that they were not able to pick up seats in the House the way the Democrats did in 2018? If the idea is that this midterm was a referendum on the current administration, then it's not a big rebuke at all.
 
I'm impressed by the GOP in AZ not crying fraud as the vote counting is drawn out. They have really grown up. Or is it because they're behind?

Funny how that works.
 
Anyone knowledgeable about the Alaska race? Curious why Murkowski is losing.

Oh, Trump's mood right now must be wonderful.

Yeah it is. On Monday people were openly speculating that Tuesday would lay the ground work for a 2024 supermajority for the GOP in both Houses.

Who cares? The bottom line will be the end of the crazy spending that has been going on.

Maybe they're looking around and thinking it might not be the best time to go full nutter.

Nope. It's all good if the Republicans take both houses.

Depends on the edge Republicans have. Most of the red mini-wave in New York happened in highly competitive districts, which means those Republicans aren't likely to be on board with cataclysmic efforts to hold up raising the debt limit in return for ludicrous demands.

Because Alaska is conservative, and Murkowski isn't.

Can you be more specific? She's been a Senator for over 24 years. What has changed over that time? What policies are unpopular with Alaskans?

We all know what will happen. The Democrats will block any balanced budget efforts by the Republicans. They will go to the brink and the Republicans will cave in. All in all better than what has been going on in the past two years.

Maybe they will. Republicans found that being crazy isn't a great electoral strategy. Maybe yesterday's results will make them act more adult than usual.

So Arizona has not been called yet? I thought someone said earlier Kari Lake lost.

Hundreds of thousands of votes to still tally. Don’t get your hopes up. Stay patient!

I feel real good about Sen. Kelly winning re-election. Not so sure Hobbs can hold off Lake.

Oh, so it's just not happening. Okay, thanks.

Yes, I just ran my own numbers on this coming up with a similar result. I am not certain why it has not yet been called. The only thing that would keep this from being called is the idea that the character of the outstanding vote is not necessarily consistent with what has been tabulated..... The Clark mail-in vote is closer to a 60-40 for Masto-Cortez (which would give her the victory) than the existing rate which is a blend of same day & mail in vote.

Laxalt holding on would be a pity turning the Georgia run-off into a circus with hundreds of millions spent there by outsiders over 30 days.
